# Quick start: ServiceNow SPO integration

### 1. Open a sourcing request <a href="#id-1openasourcingrequest" id="id-1openasourcingrequest"></a>

In ServiceNow SPO, you will need to create a sourcing request for goods or services line items and submit your request.

### 2. Fairmarkit auto-creates & submits an event <a href="#id-2fairmarkitautocreatessubmitsanevent" id="id-2fairmarkitautocreatessubmitsanevent"></a>

If the request matches you organization's requirements for automated sourcing, Fairmarkit automatically creates and event. Using AI technology and the event details, Fairmarkit recommends and invites the best suppliers for your event and submits it. When suppliers respond to your event, Fairmarkit instantaneously sends their responses to you in ServiceNow SPO. You will also receive a response if a supplier sends a no bid response.

### 3. Review and award a response <a href="#id-3reviewandawardaresponse" id="id-3reviewandawardaresponse"></a>

In ServiceNow SPO, review and award your preferred response. Once awarded, ServiceNow SPO automatically creates a purchase requisition and submits it to the approval chain to become a purchase order. After awarding, Fairmarkit notifies the winning supplier to look for a purchase order.
